"Zhao, have you read the news? The Warriors have decided to recall you...Great, we finally have the opportunity..."
The agent on the other end of the phone, David Stock, was quite excited.
He kept recounting what team general manager Bob Michael told him, including what he asked him to tell Zhao Feiyang.
However, Zhao Feiyang's reaction to all this was completely different from his. He did not have any excitement, but was very impatient.
"David, I know, I'm sleeping...let me get enough rest first!"
"No, wait, they want you back in Oakland as soon as possible..."
Zhao Feiyang was too lazy to listen any more, so he hung up the phone.
However, no matter how tired he was, David Stocker's call made him temporarily sleepless. He really doesn't know what the team management is thinking, and he no longer expects them to make the right decision.
After tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, Zhao Feiyang had no choice but to get up and turn on his computer to browse the news. As he had guessed, the news about the Warriors recalling him had become a hot topic.
Almost all fans from the Bay Area are commenting below.
"The Warriors should have done this a long time ago..."
"Stupid management, don't know what they are dealing with..."
"Looking forward to Zhao Feiyang's return, maybe he can help the Warriors save the defeat..."
Except for the fans, no other Warriors players had any comments.
Only Stephen Curry, who was recovering from his injury, posted a message on his personal social media account after learning the news, expressing his welcome to Zhao Feiyang's return.
Zhao Feiyang was not surprised by this.
Stephen Curry is the core of the team, and he cannot threaten his position. Moreover, he is recovering from an injury, and he must be eager to take his place during this time.
It is normal for other players not to express their opinions.
His return is not positive news for them, especially against the backdrop of the team's losing streak. The fans' support for them is a slap in their face.
Therefore, they are even less likely to take any action.
After reading the reactions from all parties, Zhao Feiyang was also entangled. When he came to the Golden State Warriors, he really wanted to help the Warriors achieve results, and he could even sacrifice some of his ball rights.
Unexpectedly, the Warriors would become like this!
What does it mean if you just come back like this?
"If the team wants me to play, I can play. If they don't want me to play, they won't let me play. When I'm using it, I'm called Xiao Tiantian, and when I'm not using it, I'm called Mrs. Niu. Why the hell is this... The league is not There is only one team, the Warriors!”
The more Zhao Feiyang thought about it, the angrier he became, "At worst, I won't play this season. It's just paddling... I'll find a good team next season..."
When he signed the contract, he had his sights set on player options. Now in hindsight, there is really nothing wrong with signing a two-year contract.
Otherwise, once the Warriors want to take advantage of him, his career will be really ruined!
Another training day.
The Warriors players came to the scene early. Although they have been losing recently, the players are still working hard, and the team's internal training has not fallen behind.
Head coach Steve Kerr was in a good mood today. After learning that Zhao Feiyang would return to Oakland, he was looking forward to seeing this young man again.
Team general manager Bob Michael is also here today.
The first is to observe the training status of the players; the second is to chat with Steve Kerr about the team's recent problems; the third is to meet with Zhao Feiyang and tell him about the management, leaving aside his position. Bob Michael still hopes that Zhao Feiyang can stay with the Jinzhou Warriors.
The two chatted and waited, watching as the training time was approaching and all the players entered the training hall one after another. Even Draymond Green, who likes to enter the training hall on the spot, came, but Zhao Feiyang still did not appear.
"what's the situation?"
Bob Michael looked at his watch.
Steve Kerr was also a little surprised, "It shouldn't be... This young man is always on time. He is never late for training..."
"Bob, are you sure you informed him?"
Steve Kerr asked.
Bob Michael nodded with confidence, "I told his agent and sent him a text message... The news outside is so hot, I believe he must have known about it... ...If nothing else happens, he should have returned to Auckland yesterday..."
The two looked at each other, said nothing, and continued to wait.
The players also heard the news and knew that Zhao Feiyang would report to the team, so they all waited for his appearance.
Time passes gradually.
Seeing that most of the training time had passed, Zhao Feiyang still did not appear in the arena, and general manager Bob Michael couldn't sit still.
He called Zhao Feiyang directly, but no one answered, so he called his agent David Stock.
"David, is Zhao back in Oakland?"
"He came back yesterday!"
"Then why didn't he come to the gym to train?"
"Huh? Didn't he go to the gym to train?"
"Yes, I can't get through the phone either. I don't know what's going on with him..."
David Stocker on the other end of the phone was also confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Wait until I contact him..."
In fact, Zhao Feiyang was not in Oakland. After learning that he was recalled by the Golden State Warriors, Zhao Feiyang did take the lead in returning to his residence in Oakland.
But as soon as he put away his luggage, he immediately took a taxi to the airport, and then took a plane directly to Los Angeles.
After coming to the United States for so long, he and Jiang Qiuyue only met once. Even if Jiang Qiuyue had time on weekdays, he would not be able to accompany him when he went to away games.
This time when the two met again, Zhao Feiyang, who had already unlocked a certain achievement, naturally chose to be with Jiang Qiuyue. Jiang Qiuyue, who had been cooked, also knew the taste. After meeting, she directly asked for leave and not went to school for the time being.
The two stayed at home for two days.
When they are hungry, they cook or order takeout. At other times, they either play games or watch movies together, or they just do what they like to do.
Anyway, don’t mention how happy it is!
In the evening, Zhao Feiyang finally woke up from his sleep. He stretched out and tried to get up, but found a soreness in his waist.
Jiang Qiuyue beside her was still sleeping soundly, and her cute look while sleeping made Zhao Feiyang feel pity for her.
"Forget it! I don't dare to come again..."
"As the saying goes, there is no plowed field until the cows die from exhaustion..."
"You still have to be more moderate, otherwise you will have to take Liuwei Dihuang Pills to make up for it in the future..."
Zhao Feiyang got up and planned to wash up, but he saw a missed call from his agent David Stock. Not only that, David Stock also sent him a lot of text messages.
"Zhao, where are you? Why didn't you go to training today?"
"Bob couldn't contact you. He asked me to tell you that he hopes you can go to the team for training as soon as possible... The team has a game recently and they hope you can play to help the team defeat the opponent... ..”
"I know you are disappointed with their behavior! I understand how you feel... But, man, your career is your own. You don't need to be angry with them. You can just leave after this season. That’s it... I will definitely help you contact a reliable team later..."
Seeing his agent David Stock admonishing him so patiently, Zhao Feiyang finally sent him a text message back.
"David, I'm in Los Angeles to see my fiancée...Don't worry! I understand what you mean...I will go back soon, and I will definitely not miss the next game. ......."
Soon David Stock also replied to Zhao Feiyang.
"I look forward to your return... Let them be shocked!"
Zhao Feiyang was still not in a hurry to return to Auckland, but continued to accompany his fiancée until the game day two days later, when he calmly flew back.
By the time he arrived in Auckland, there was less than an hour left before the game started.
Zhao Feiyang did not go home at all, but took a taxi directly to Oracle Arena.
In the arena.
The Warriors players all arrived early. In order to save the losing streak, the players trained for an hour in advance.
The same goes for head coach Steve Kerr.
While paying attention to the situation on the field, he warned the players about possible problems that may arise during the game.
Even after entering the locker room, Steve Kerr's mouth never stopped.
"Today our opponent is the New Orleans Pelicans. This team is not very competitive. They are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference..."
"Everyone needs to remember one thing: defend well, don't stick to the ball, and use our tactics to destroy their defense..."
"You must be careful about Anthony Davis inside. He is a difficult guy. Draymond, I leave Anthony Davis to you. No matter what you do, I hope you can restrict him... ....."
"Klay, as long as you seize the opportunity, you can choose to take action... Stephen is not here, I hope you can shoulder the burden of the team..."
"Dennis, I need you to go..."
Coach Steve Kerr suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Previous attempts have proven that Dennis Grant cannot carry the entire team, and he is not a good tactical initiator.
If he continues to play, the team may have trouble organizing offense again.
Because of this, coach Steve Kerr suddenly thought why Zhao Feiyang hadn't come yet, so he quickly called his agent David Stock.
"David, what's going on? Does Zhao still want to participate in the competition? If he is determined not to come, I will not arrange his position..."
"Steve, Zhao just got off the plane and is already on his way..."
Coach Steve Kerr was very helpless.
Seeing that the game time was approaching, Steve Kerr really couldn't wait any longer, so he was going to let the players change their clothes and enter the infield.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone pushed in the door outside the locker room.
The person who came was none other than Zhao Feiyang.
As soon as he appeared, the eyes of the entire locker room focused on him almost instantly.
